#CountryKids Autumn Walks and Bikeability

After last week's dismal lack of outdoor fun I knew I needed to up our game! So on Saturday I allowed extra time for my daughter and I to walk to our destination. We went over the River Kent:

And had a magical walk through a very autumnal Abbott Hall Park:

Of course darkness had come before we left which made it seem a bit like Narnia but without the snow:

We could see the parish church all lit up:

And enjoyed a brisk walk back along the river:

It was lovely to be out and about together enjoying the fresh air and the surroundings.

This week my daughter's school has been doing Bikeability for the year 5 and 6's who are cyclists. Takes me back to my cycling proficiency days (although that was taught by my mum and another mum and not professionals!). They had 3 days of training and then today took a test. I am pleased to say that my daughter came home with a shiny badge:

So now she and I can hopefully go out more on our bikes! Just a shame my son has to wait 3 years to do his course..

I love your photos as the light is fading there. It does indeed look like a scene from Narnia with the park light. Well done on the bikeability, most of mine have enjoyed doing this one too and so good for their road sense. Glad you are all well again and out and about. Thanks for linking up.
